Each of the these interrupt sources has an associated ICR that allows the
interrupt to be programmed with an individual IPL or to be disabled. Figure 11–7
shows these ICRs.

The vectors associated with these seven interrupt inputs have a single common
root that is modified to give a unique vector for each device. Bits <7:3> of this
common 8-bit vector are programmable while bits <2:0> uniquely identify the
winning interrupt.
Figure 11–8 shows the local interrupt vector base register.

11.1.3.2 VMEbus Interrupt Requests

The VIC64 chip handles the standard seven-level prioritized interrupt scheme of
the VMEbus when configured as system controller.
As for the module-based interrupt sources described above, each of the seven
VMEbus interrupt request (IRQ) lines has its own ICR to allow individual disable
and priority assignments (see Figure 11–9 and Table 11–3).
